Synopsis "A Bee in His Bonnet (in English)"
From bestselling author Bernard Fleury: Bestseller in World War 1 History A Bee in His Bonnet is an action packed, creative non-fiction biography. The book offers readers a look into the life of an American soldier, Frank King, Fleury's grandfather, who came to America in 1898 and stayed to become a career army man, profuse diarist, and world traveler. He fought in wars that few of us know, but whose repercussions are still felt today: The Spanish-American War, The Philippine Insurrection, and World War I. King's Company G, Eighth Infantry, was involved in the earliest documented anti-terrorist campaigns in The Philippine Insurrection. King was present for the capture of Aguinaldo, and during his second tour there was personally instrumental in the capture of the Bin Laden of his day, Faustino Ablen. He served in the famous Third Division in World War I. He was officially cited twice for his heroism and the part he played in the famous battles at Champagne-Marne, St. Mihiel, Meuse-Argonne, and Chateau Thiery, under General John Pershing who attended Frank's retirement, personally presenting his retirement papers. If you like to experience creative history as seen through the eyes and life of a man who lived it, you'll like A Bee in His Bonnet.
